As her boyfriend, New York Knicks superfan Timothée Chalamet took his seat at Madison Square Garden for Game 1, Kylie Jenner found herself at the 2026 Met Gala, where she linked up with NBA star Russell Westbrook. Both Kylie and her sister, Kendall Jenner, dressed in stunning gowns, posed with Westbrook in his mesmerizing bluish-purplish suit. The picture showed nothing but smiles and joy.
It's worth noting that Westbrook didn't have a game to play, as the Sacramento Kings failed to qualify for the playoffs during the 2025-26 season. For the second consecutive year, Jenner attended the Met Gala alone while Chalamet watched the Knicks. However, this year he was able to experience it in person, unlike last year when he had to watch it on a computer.
Chalamet's love for the Knicks is undeniable, and he didn't want to miss Game 1. His dedication paid off as the team won the game by a whopping 3 9 points against the Sixers. He was one of many celebrities in attendance at the game, joining forces with Jimmy Fallon, Noah Kahan, Edie Falco, and Tracy Morgan.
The Knicks are riding high after winning their fourth consecutive game (each by more than 10 points). Meanwhile, the Sixers are still reeling from their emotional journey against the Boston Celtics, where they fought back from a 3-1 deficit to secure a win. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35 points in just 31 minutes, making 75% of his shots. OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns also contributed significantly with 18, 17, and 17 points respectively.
